Really exciting to see Herb being adopted at GitHub! 🌿
Over the past months, the GitHub team has been running Herb across one of the largest Rails codebases out there where Herb helped uncover real issues missed by existing tooling while also providing invaluable feedback. 🙌
Flying into RubyKaigi, I thought we had months to stand up AI-assisted vulnerability scanning for rubygems.org. Turns out we were out of time. We started prototyping during the conference, scanned the most critical gems, and four hours later submitted our first advisory to Nokogiri.
The Ruby Developer Experience team at Shopify has just launched Rubydex, a building block for indexing and (semantically) querying your Ruby codebases.
@vinistock.bsky.social has a write up explaining what it is and how it works here: railsatscale.com/2026-05-12-o...
@andrewm.codes can you please check your DMs or email? Thx
After weeks of work, Ruby’s master documentation now displays rbs signatures!
We will release this feature in RDoc 8.0 soon as well. So any projects using rbs (inline or .rbs files) can benefit from it too.
Check it on docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master
Really appreciate the opportunity to present all the RDoc improvements we made at #rubykaigi
Here are my talk’s slides: st0012.dev/talks/2026-0...
IRB v1.18.0 was just released with:
- Starting banner with Ruby and a few basic info (can be disabled with --nobanner)
- Help dialog on commands
- Highlighting on method calls
Enjoy!

At the end of day 2 RubyKaigi, I'll share what's coming in RDoc 8.0 (new parser, server mode, and RBS!), and why Ruby documentation has to work for AI too.
